Market is very high indeed. I'm looking for a player, and only find "suitable" ones for approx . 700 to 800 k above what I would have expected, that's crazy !

The player you are talking about Joe, is the legendary Häkkinen :-) And Connor was certainly not very far from him. Thus I'm not surprised by the price, and it is also a hint that training very high valu players is interesting since it is possible to sell them with benefits at a more advanced age.

I agree with you.

There are currently very high prices paid on the transfer market for high skilled aged players, but also for other players in general.

This makes it worthwhile to train (even older) good players up, get the beneftis of it by keeping and playing with them until 33-34 yrs old, and then still selling them at very good prices. Which on its turn, means you"ll be getting a high return on investment (ROI) for such players.

The transfer place is changing, that's for sure, and high multi-skilled players until age 34 are (currently) very wanted by many teams. I wonder how this will evolve in the future....

I am amazed by coach Q's stillness, but many teams could haul in world stars to unbalance the things in their favour !

Well as many said, the market is very high right now. Beside this, i might have mentioned this in the past - the only thing i want in this game now is to be world champion. It is not bragging at all, it's just that i want to aim high. And it is so tough to build a team that has the capability to win it all that i am trying to avoid buying players i dont believe in.

that being said i dont have enough competitive players right now and will have to take decisions sooner or later. but i dont think i will manage to be competitive anytime soon.

Well, that's the only title eluding you (and Joe's).

But I surely won't complain if it allows us lesser humans to have a chance of winning something :)

By the way, there are always less and less teams on BB (we're now around 20 k, I remember when it was above 50 !) does someone have any idea why the prices are so high ?

I'm looking for a subs player (so starter so) I can't find somrthing suitable under 1.5 M !! No way I'm paying that for a substitute.

@Joe : Yeah, that's an extremely disappointing start for AmenRa, double penatly to lose both a starter player and the game :/ I hope his season doesn't get screwed because of that.

Looks like I'm the next one after AmenRa to visit the altar of broken dreams.

Well played, it required some guts to play inside with Bellings vs Dabnys.

Yet it worked, I still can't understand why all my starting five was relegated on the bench in the overtime, especially with your big men so close to dismissal ... Why did that happen ?

Why, BUT WHY doesn't it work ? What the hell am I doing wrong ?

Kinds words from you, but with all due repect, I have a roster that is 200 k over yours. And defeat should have been a no-go.

200 k roster wages is an enormous amount - if we both had the same wages I wouldn't have been beaten - but annihilated. Which basically means I am doing *something* wrong.

I was always extremely proud to keep results up with a "modest" roster. Now I'm on the other side of the fence, I deliberately chose to go on hard and spend more money than the opposition in order to get results. If I can't get those, what's the point in having a very expensive roster ?

Of course, in itself a defeat at yours isn't at all humiliating, you have a strong team. And nothing is done yet - but no matter how you consider, considering our respective forces, this is from me a severe counter-performance.

About replay, there's nothing to say - as you know, results are calculated before the game and then a match is generated with the calculated outcome.

I'm slowly starting to think that GDP is costing me more games than it makes me win them. Perhaps I should go M2M all the way.

Now, I still can't unserstand how Bellings put misery on a player whose inside defense + counter is over 30 skill points strong ...

I think the fact that your focus was completely wrong played a large part in your defeat.
You choose to focus on an outside defense, while Ventola played a inside offense, that's the complete opposite of your focus and a 100% wrong bet !
That certainly played a part in your defeat, for sure.
